| rdfs:comment | - A displacement wave which is also known as Ultra-Warp is the primary energy based form of extreme long range propulsion on used on Imperial Federation Warships from the late 24th century well into the 26th century.
- In 2371, the Caretaker used a displacement wave to bring starships from across the galaxy to his array in the Delta Quadrant. Among the ships pulled to the Delta Quadrant were the Maquis raider, Val Jean, the USS Voyager, a Cardassian Galor-class warship, the Dreadnought missile, and the USS Equinox. (VOY episodes: "Caretaker", "The Voyager Conspiracy", "Dreadnought", "Equinox")
- In 2371, the Caretaker used this technique to transport several vessels to his location, in an attempt to find a lifeform genetically compatible with himself, in order to procreate to produce an offspring capable of continuing his mission of caring for the Ocampa. Among the vessels transported to the Delta Quadrant were Chakotay's Maquis ship, the Val Jean; the USS Voyager; the USS Equinox; a Cardassian Galor-class vessel; and the Dreadnought missile.

(VOY episodes: "Caretaker", "The Voyager Conspiracy", "Dreadnought", "Equinox") In the year 2267, more than a century earlier, another form of "displacement waves" were detected when the Enterprise was approaching and then in orbit around the planet Gateway the location of the Guardian of Forever. Commander Spock reported to Captain James T. Kirk that something or someone on the planet was causing "turbulent waves of space displacement" that Spock also called "ripples in time". Spock told Kirk he thought it was of very huge scientific importance that they maintain orbit to study the waves. As the landing party would soon discover the waves were caused by the Guardian of Forever, a time portal like device that refused to answer Kirk's question as to whether it was a being or a machine.

Commander Spock reported to Captain James T. Kirk that that the ship was passing through ripples in time. Kirk then ordered Lieutenant Uhura to report to Starfleet Command that something or someone down on that planet was causing turbulent waves of space displacement. When Kirk asked Spock again about whether the Enterprise should stay in orbit to investigate, Spock told Kirk that it was of very huge scientific importance that they maintain orbit to study the waves. As the landing party would soon discover, the waves were caused by the Guardian of Forever, a time portal–like device that refused to answer Kirk's question as to whether it was a being or a machine.
